- When I first got my PB100 I wanted a heavier ball too thinking it would
- make the "roll" smoother. Then I noticed that the PB100 is distinctively
- different than it's bigger siblings in that the roller ball does NOT
- rest on rollers like the others, but rather on solid posts. Hence
- the slight skipping around.
-
- Poor design if you ask me, and I'm not sure a heavier ball will help.
